Homeschooling or not, you have to find your happiness from within. Some questions for you to answer for yourself: Why aren't you motivated? Is there a possibility of depression? Is there a way for you to have more interactions with people? Since you're not spending a lot of time studying, what are you spending your time on? What would you like to be spending your time on? Have you considered volunteering somewhere? (It can be a huge boost--interaction with others and simply giving of yourself for a good cause!) What do you love doing? (And I don't mean things like playing video games, but something that gives you a sense of satisfaction.) I have not read the book I'm about to recommend, but have read its "parent" book, so I feel confident in recommending it: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens If you like it and want something more, try The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management. This last book has a great section on figuring out what's really important in our lives so that we can start acting on it. Also, where I went to school, we had no such thing as a prom. So don't feel like you are missing out on one of life's necessities. (That's probably not helpful, but I think it still needs to be said.) And stop comparing yourself to others! If we were all the same, things would be pretty boring... Another thought is that what you are going through is not that different from what some kids I knew went through when I was in public school. Being a teenager can be a difficult time and everybody has different things going on that can affect the outcomes. Just because your path is different than your friends doesn't mean that you should be on their path. Be gentle with yourself, okay? But do figure out ways to boost yourself towards more happiness. Happiness has nothing to do with what’s out there. Homeschooling or not, you have to find your happiness from within.
